Audrey Delores a awesome Christian woman: Nurse,Wife,Mother,Aunt,Grandmother who served God without question. Yes, through Divine intervention two people in their seventies, Audrey and Randy, became soulmates. A joyful loving union was in place for a number of years until death did us apart.
My soulmate is now in the personal care of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To God be the Glory.
Audrey forever in my heart!!
Love Randy

Sister Miller was a kind and spirit filled lady always wearing a smile. I like to say to the family: “ What was once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” I loved her too, She will be missed.

To Renee and family, I am so honored to know such a beautiful family. I was always greeted by your mother with the biggest warmest smile that just radiated pure joy. No matter how you felt she always passed on comfort. I love you Renee and you have that same gift of warmth and joy upon greeting. You all have much to give because your Mom was your shining example.
Sincerely with you,

Her gorgeous legs...when she came to Germany for the birth of my son Marc and everything–rightfully so–was so very foreign to her...the time Snooks and I had dishwashing/drying duty and had to wash and dry the dishes again because we knowingly didn't wash them till they were clean–Auntie Audrey saw...how very important it was for me to find a thimble from one of my trips abroad to gift her...her fine, delicate hands–hands that crocheted a yellow, blue and green and pink and white baby blanket for Marc and how that blanket was the only color in the drab waiting room of the cardiology clinic in Germany as I sat with Marc, she was with us..."Hi Baby," this how she greeted me–always...and I will always love her...

My second mother for many years. The most welcoming of women.
She pierced my ears when I was about 9. I thought she could do anything if she could do that! It turns out, she practically could.
Always included my family in birthdays and parties. There were plenty of them too!
Road trips with wayman, Audrey, Lori and I were always a great time and I couldn't wait for the next.
Her cooking and crochet work are legendary.
Hanging out in the basement listening to albums, dancing like we didnt have sense, snacks always.
Lori and I got her pretty
agitated at times....but in time we were given that megawatt smile that we all loved.
Such a wonder.......Im not sure how you could fit all that beauty,kindness,knowledge and talent into one person. But the Lord sure enough made it so.
Sending a warm welcome home Audrey. You are loved always

I can remember telling you that my mom was a nervous wreck about undergoing surgery. The next thing I knew you gave my mom a call to help ease her fears. You have always been good to me, and I always loved coming home with Lori to visit with you and Dad.
I will never forget you Mom,may you R.I.L
My Condolences,

Hello Miller Family,
I was sadden to hear today of our beloved Sis. Miller passing. One thing I would always remember, she would always pull into Walker's parking lot blasting Aretha Franklin "Amazing Grace" and it was always a fast song! R.I.P Mother Miller.

As a child and now as an adult spending quality time with my family is invaluable. Cousins, sisters, brothers, and our progeny are so blessed to have been surrounded by a special constellation of parents (grand, great, great-great) extraordinaire. Aunty Audrey graced us with her stellar light, wisdom, talent, and Golden Touch. Yes, she really knew how to put a shine on a dull penny, and everything else within reach! Thank you, Aunty Audrey, for radiating your powerful love in this world. Your niece, Candace

A visit to Auntie Audrey’s house was a must during my annual visits to Seattle. I remember sitting in her kitchen as my grandma Bea and Auntie would tell stories about the days my mom and siblings were young kids. Every visit to Auntie’s house included a sweet treat. My favorite was her meringue pies. She was loved and will be missed.

For my dearest friend Audrey,
My prayer for you is that your soul is resting in peace and the angels are surrounding you with lots of love and peace.
I will miss you but my memories of our childhood and growing up together will be with me. You have always been not only my best friend but also my sister. We always vowed we would grow old together . We will see each other again. So until then rest in peace and always know I will think of you.
Love you,

Mrs. Miller had a halo above her. She was such a loving woman. Her smile could light up a room. She loved God and I know she went peacefully home to her Lord. She spent many events with my Father and my Family.
This was Thanksgiving at my home. Just my Father, Mrs. Miller and me.. It was a joy to have them with me that evening.
She will be missed.

Looking at Gunsmoke and laughing about the cowboy who got shot in you know where (LOL)... and the time she gave me a ball of yarn to get knots out. Took me an hour. I handed the ball of yarn back she smiled there were no knots. I truly enjoyed having those moments in the past few weeks with Audrey and being her high school friend in her mind was the highlight of my day after each visit. Thank you Lori for sharing your loving and kind Mom.

So many wonderful memories of Auntie Audrey are flowing through my mind...she showed so much love and care to others and always with a smile.
I always treasured my visits with her and the family. Some of my fond memories were...
~ when she would work on her crochet projects and I was fascinated when she did such intricate stitches with the smallest of crochet hooks.
~ when I fell in love with her yummy butternut cookies. Some of our family still makes them today. She was always willing to share her special recipes with us.
~ when Lori would come to Bremerton for a visit back in the day, I admired how Auntie Audrey packed her suitcase with all her clothes so perfectly pressed and folded.
~ when I made a trip to Seattle and my Dad and I would go visit his baby sister and how happy they were to see each other and spend time together.
Auntie Audrey was so amazing and full of such strength, love, kindness, courage and grace. Our love and memories of her will be cherished forever.

Auntie Audrey,
When I think of you one word comes to mind, Sweet
As we called your own mother Sweet
The sweet fruity mixture you had on your kitchen counter
The sweet lemon cake you baked and I could never get enough of
The sweet first blankets you knitted for all of us as babies and then our babies
The sweet knit hats mama still wears that your sweet hands would crotchet
The sweet memories of family birthdays, holidays and childhood memories of sleepovers on Kenyon
The sweet visits to Parkway Medical Center where you always got us in without an appointment
The sweet way you counseled us that God is and always is the answer
From First AME to Walker Chapel you shared your unwavering faith
I laugh as I reminisce of being a little girl and you patiently changing the bed after I wet it on a sleepover. You always comforted me so sweetly. And even when I left the lights on and you had to remind me to keep my hands off the walls and put Ivory liquid in the tub, these are sweet lessons I live by to this day.
I’m so grateful for the gift of you and all you meant to this family. Forever in my heart as that is where I keep my valuables.
Rest sweetly
Your niece Dana ❤️

Sister Audrey Miller’s smile is one of the precious memories I will always treasure. She always said, “your name is sweet like you.” Sister Miller was always loving and caring to me and others in her life.
She handed me a package one Sunday and I opened it up to find a beautiful white sweater she made and the pattern matched the pattern in one of my skirts. She said, I made this for you. It fit perfectly. I will never forget her kindness to please others just because she enjoyed making others happy.
She is now at peace forever. Her precious memories forever embedded in our hearts.
God’s Peace, Comfort, Blessings to family and friends.
Love,
Candi

Mrs. Miller was my church mom. From the time I joined Walker Chapel she always took the time to greet me, to ask how I was doing, to give me a hug (God I miss her hugs) and to offer to pray for me. And when she flashed that beautiful smile at me, it definitely made me feel better.
At one point I moved to Bellingham to take a new job. I would drive back to Seattle on the weekends to attend church. So what did my church mom do? She offered her home to me so that I wouldn’t have to pay for a hotel! It was during that time that I learned just how strong a Christian and a woman she truly was.
Mother Miller was the absolute sweetest woman I’ve ever known. But when properly performing God’s sacraments at the church was threatened, I saw the strength of her convictions - and it was the only time I ever saw her upset. Her standing up for what was right forced the pastor to do the right thing.
I’ve missed my church mom during her illness, but took comfort in knowing she was still in the house overlooking Lake Washington. Now I’ll have to take comfort in her looking down from heaven, where I know there was some stomping of feet and cheering of the saints when she made it home.
Rest In Peace, Mother Miller.

Auntie Audrey, may you rest in the glory of God's arms. You left a legacy of honesty and determination of self and self worth. Your service as a Wife, Mother & RN laid a foundation of service. I will miss your smile and laughter. I loved the Mona Lisa smile you would deliver flawlessly when something appeared a tad bit off....never discounted or called the person out...just Mona Lisa'd the person. May the Heavens rejoice in your arrival and the celebration of remembrance begin....Love you always....Renee & Family.

Aunty Audrey had the biggest Heart filled with so much Love. She always welcomed you with open arms. You will always be loved and missed Aunty Audrey. Rest in Paradise❤️🙏🏼
